Oregon State Athletic Commission statutory authority is contained in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 463 – Unarmed combat sports and Entertainment Wrestling, these laws can be found online at: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors463.html Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) is the official compilation of rules and regulations having the force of law in Oregon. These are the regulatory and administrative corollary to the Oregon Revised Statutes, and can be found at: http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/oars_200/oar_230/230_tofc.html 2 Pre- Event Preparation STEP 1: Submit at least 60 days prior to event Requirements: Event Application Seating Plan Filed w/ Director Register Fight Card w/ ABC or Submit Fight Card to OSAC Pre-fight plan (230-030-0190) Event applications should be submitted a minimum of 60 days prior to the event date. A seating plan must accompany an event application. Upon submission of the event application, OSAC staff will immediately ask physicians and officials for their availability. Once a physician has accepted the event, and there are sufficient officials available for the event, OSAC will email the promoter an official event approval. This approval will provide event details including date, time and location of weigh-in and pre-fight medicals as approved by the Administrator. Please take the time to review the details to avoid any issues as the event date approaches. Professional Boxing Event Application: http://www.oregon.gov/osp/OSAC/Documents/a_901_1_Boxing_Event_Application.pdf MMA Event Application http://www.oregon.gov/osp/OSAC/Documents/a_901_1_MMA_Event_Application.pdf Kickboxing Event Application http://www.oregon.gov/osp/OSAC/Documents/a_901_1_Kickboxing_Event_Application.pdf Muay Thai Event Application http://www.oregon.gov/osp/OSAC/Documents/a_901_1_Muay_Thai_Event_Application.pdf Upon approval of the event, we ask that the promoter scheduling an MMA event register their fight card on the ABC Mixed Martial Arts Database. For MMA events, accessing the Mixed Martial Arts Database information is below: Letter to Promoters https://abc.mixedmartialarts.com/includes/downloads/PromotersLetter.pdf Instructions https://abc.mixedmartialarts.com/includes/downloads/PromotersManual.pdf Login http://abc.mixedmartialarts.com For Professional Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai events, submit the fight card to OSAC. Professional Boxing event promoters must also submit Fight Fax for each competitor on their card. Fight Fax information, email: [email protected] It is very important that as bouts are scheduled, cancelled and as competitors change, notification is made either to OSAC or updated via the ABC website. The Administrator must approve all bouts and is unable to do so if the card is not maintained. 3 Event Prep Deadline STEP 2: Submit a minimum of 4 working days prior to event Requirements: Licensing of Competitors - Complete Licensing of Professional Seconds - Complete Hotel reservations for officials if applicable Pro Competitor Contracts Pay Officials Fees Medical Insurance / Pre-filled with Promoter policy information Completed Fight Card Updated on ABC or submitted to OSAC LICENSING OF COMPETITORS OSAC understands that the process of ensuring all competitors are licensed is a challenging and stressful affair for promoters. Promoters are encouraged to require competitors to become licensed as a precursor to being added to the fight card. It is our strong belief that in doing so, card modifications will be greatly reduced, competitor training time will be increased, and preparation for the official weigh-in can be conducted more safely over a longer period of time. A decrease in the need for last minute substitutions due to incomplete license applications would greatly reduce promoter stress. All applications for competitor licensure must be complete 4 days prior to the commencement of the event. OSAC may make adjustments to this deadline. As a benefit to the promoter, OSAC will provide a weekly update to the Competitor Requirements Form, with more frequent updates the two weeks leading up to the event. License Requirements: All Mixed Martial Arts competitors are required to hold a National MMA ID card and be licensed by the Oregon State Athletic Commission to participate in MMA events in Oregon. The National ID is issued by the athletic commission in the state in which the competitor lives. If the resident state does not have a commission, Oregon State Athletic Commission can issue the license. The National ID is valid for 5 years. The OSAC license is valid for 1 year from issuance. Professional Boxers are required to hold a Federal ID through ABC as well as be licensed by the Oregon State Athletic Commission to participate in Professional Boxing events in Oregon. The Federal ID must be issued by the athletic commission in the state in which the competitor lives. If the resident state does not have a commission, Oregon State Athletic Commission can issue the license. The Federal ID is valid for 4 years and the OSAC license is valid for 1 year from issuance. 4 Kickboxers and Muay Thai competitors are required to be licensed by the Oregon State Athletic Commission to participate in Kickboxing or Muay Thai events. Requirements for licensure varies based upon license type. Both are issued by the athletic commission. The OSAC license is valid for 1 year from issuance.
